See a doctor: If you have ANY concerns about possible melanoma, see a physician. The melanoma "rules" (asymmetry, border, color, diameter, and evolution) are indications that you should see a doctor. Melanoma can have many appearances and may not follow the rules. Your question needs to be answered face-to-face by a physician.
